Let's Talk Neurodiversity

MSS Diverging Minds is inviting you to Let’s Talk Neurodiversity!

Through excerpts of interviews with both neurodivergent individuals and advocates, our aim is to raise awareness and acceptance of the neurodivergent community. We’ll present their definitions of Neurodiversity and discuss common misconceptions associated with it, societal issues and media portrayal, among other topics.

Join us on September 9th at 6:00pm to unwind after class and learn more about Neurodivergence!
